April Reed Obituary
She is survived by her father, Billy Bailey, Sr. and his wife Shirley; her only child, Cheyenne Reed and partner Jacquee Martin; her beloved grandson, NahZier Martin; and her beloved siblings Rhonda Melton and husband Roger who affectionately called her Lucy, Jr. Bailey and wife Melinda, and loving sister-in-law, Maria Bailey and numerous nieces and nephews. April was predeceased by her mother and stepfather, Barbara and Ralph Gray, as well as her siblings Mark Bailey and Vincent Bailey and nephews Kevin and Joshua Bailey.
April took immense pride in her career as a pharmacy technician, caring for others with dedication and compassion. She was a constant cheerleader for her daughter, supporting Cheyenne at countless softball tournaments throughout the years. She loved bowling, traveling, and exploring new places, always bringing curiosity, joy, and enthusiasm to every adventure.
April's generosity, humor, and loving spirit will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her. She leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and treasured memories that will continue to inspire her family and friends.
A celebration of her life will be held at a later date to honor her wishes where friends and family can honor the joy and love she shared so freely.

April was such a sweet woman and a free spirit. She was always so happy when I ran into her and her husband Allan Alderman. There was always a smile on both of there faces. Its weird that his name was not on this when he was the one always with her. May she rest in peace and we will keep her in our thoughts and prayers

April was a dear friend. Every time I talked to her she was as happy and joyous as she could be. I will never forget how much she loved her husband Allen Alderman. The love she had for him is what I hope my future wife has for me.

April was so sweet and kind. A joy to be around. We bowled on the same league for many years. She always has a smile and truly cared for others. She will be missed. May God give her family and friends comfort and peace.

Aprils smile will remain in my memories of her. She seemed to always have one when I would see her walking the hallways of Shawsville High. Prayers for the families loss of her here on earth. May the comfort of knowing she´s watching over them help with their loss of her here on earth.
